Emily (aka Injury RD) works as a registered dietician who is passionate about equipping and educating injured athletes.  Emily shares subtle signs and questions that healthcare providers can ask to get a more in-depth understanding of their athletes’ nutritional beliefs and values.

Soon Emily will be launching her Feed the Quad program, geared toward busy athletes looking to support their ACL rehab with a solid nutrition program.  If you work with this population and are looking for a great resource for yourself or your athlete, look no further!

Excited to share this conversation I had with Erik Meira.  We talk about his love for teaching and how his approach to movement re-education has evolved over the years.  Additionally, we chat about how his thought process on patient-reported outcomes and knee valgus has changed.  I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

If there’s a con-ed course, Shaun has taken it.  He quickly realized that most weekend courses and certification systems don’t do a great job of bridging the gap between the content and high performance.  Shaun is passionate about two things when it comes to controversial topics in rehab like the ribcage and respiration: 1) giving it more context and 2) helping clinicians connect the dots between these topics and performance so they don’t “throw the baby out with the bath water.”

Hi friends!  Welcome back. Andy and I have grown up together in the rehab space and have shared many of the same questions over the years so this was a conversation I resonated with and I hope you do as well.  It’s all about looking at the extremes of posture, respiration, manual therapy and then finding our way back to the middle.
